A well known galette/crepe place in Paris is Breizh. After the recent trip discovering the quality and earthy flavours of galettes from Bretagne, I don't think I could go back to the standard sweet crepes. The difference in flavour is such a welcome change for a savour-ite like myself. The best so far has been the similarly named Ty Breizh (http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/ty-breizh-perros-guirec-06-2017) so it was interesting to see how this would compare.
We didn't have much luck here. The day before during lunch they said they only took bookings until 2pm. In the evening for dinner the night before they had stopped serving. This day they were also fully booked but directed us to their shop next door. Why didn't the same guy bother doing that the day before? Unclear.
In any case I preferred this little gourmet shop to the restaurant full of loudly spoken tourists. It was much quieter and gave an opportunity to peruse some local products which have a clear Japanese/French fusion. I picked up a yuzu mustard and a nori mustard for the trip home.
- Mushroom galette (scrambled egg, ham, raw milk comte cheese, Paris mushroom & shiitake) €12.5
- Artichoke galette (fried egg, raw milk comte cheese, white ham, artichoke of Brittany) €12.5
- Crepe with butter & sugar.
The galettes here are different to the typical ones in Brittany. The inhouse cookbook explains that here they are intentionally thicker and softer. I must admit I do prefer the more standard thinner and crisp if nothing else because the slightly charred areas add such a delicious texture and nutty taste. However these do have the advantage of a more varied selection of toppings including borrowed from other cuisines.
